GDS Student Newspaper posts about the horrible incident

[Anonymous]

Schools have tons of things that you are not privy to. So do all companies. Why are you entitled to them? What if the investigation suggests that the kid completely invented it or any one of a million other things that they thought would be better to not release for very good reasons?

Why don’t you apply to MPD or the House Oversight Committee? Seems like Tucson PD and FBI could also benefit from your keyboard gumshoe work.

The student newspaper is independent. The school administration does not edit, review, or change the students’ articles before or after publication. Student journalists are free to edit their own developing stories, as this article was clearly labeled.

This statement is simply false and easily disproven

You're changing the subject. No clue what the FBI of Tuscon police have to do with anything. A school like GDS should not have secret reports on sex abuse. It's that simple. This doesn't mean that they should publish every record they have but reports like these shouldn't be secret.

So if the report says that there is compelling proof that the kid made the story up or had issues at home (I am not insinuating anything - I don’t know - it’s for illustrative purposes only) or other personal, troubling or other confidential catalysts that led to it, you think the school should publicly release that? That’s even crazier than what you are recklessly and seemingly randomly accusing others of.

Yes, release it. They would've done this already if they had that information

They are not even releasing it to the family which is spineless.

What makes you think it wasn’t taken seriously? The school conducted an investigation AND the police investigated. Neither investigation found evidence. What were they to do? Expel everyone it could have been? Send blast emails to the entire community saying…what, exactly?

Thank you for saying this! It sometimes feels as though people expect the evidence to fit a particular narrative of the victim—when in reality, that expectation can be just as harmful as a cover-up or an action that interferes with a fair and thorough investigation. Suddenly experts are no longer experts, when it fits.

That was weeks ago. It was a correction of the title to be more accurate with the police findings. So find another place for your outrage.

Keeping secret reports is exactly what the Catholic Church did.

This is not the Catholic Church scandal. This is not Epstein. Stop it. Get a grip.

Then why does the report have to be secret? What are they hiding?

Do you think they’re hiding that countless employees have molested kids there for decades? That’s the melodramatic insinuation you’re making. You should leave the school now because it must be something too much for you to bear in that report. Are your taxes are secret? What’re you hiding?
I know this is hard to understand but Russell and the board have a fiduciary responsibility to the school. That protects hundreds of families. And that report just isn’t any of your business.

It is very much the business of the victim’s family. They should be provided a copy, redacted if need be.

We did. I did not know this at all and GDS was one of our top choices. Now I have doubts that kids are safe there. Even for summer camps, I will never choose GDS.

Many posting on the thread are genuinely concerned with how this incident has been handled and the message to not speak up if victimized that kids are internalizing. The hypocrisy when they host an annual consent summit for OTHER schools is startling. Perhaps those recs should be rolled out to their own students and they should fix their own culture?
